Question

1099-MISC from income based on Legal Services benefit

Turbo Tax wants to assign 1099-MISC income as if it came from a business instead of an employer benefit. How can I report the income on Schedule 1 as "other income", which is how the 1099 form instructs?

    If it is not from self-employment, you would enter the information in the Federal section as follows: 

    1. Select Income & Expenses 
    2. Go to the  All Income section and select Less Common Income 
    3. Select Miscellaneous Income 

    You will then select "Other reportable income" to enter your income from your 1099-Misc.
